The progress is still slowly on the foyer walls of the bedroom, but the good news is that my hand is almost completely healed. Where the pain was originally about 7 on a scale from 1 to 10, it is about 2 this morning. I regained the full mobility of my fingers. The big tasks such as cutting and installing trims are now easy again. But yesterday I quickly became very painful that it was still quite painful to do things that require fine motor skills, such as grinding the wood filler on all nail holes. But this morning I went into the foyer to grind a little more, and instinctively I took the sandpaper with my right hand and started grinding. It took a few minutes before I realized that I was looping with my right hand without pain. To this morning, it looks like I was fully in the shop again.
After this is said, progress is progress. I installed all picture frame shapes and the crown shape in the foyer. I have none of the crown shape that was already there, even in this area in which the crown forming lasted shortly before the corner, where it was wrapped around the built -in closet that was here. As soon as everything is smooth and painted, this joint cannot be felt.
I am very satisfied with how this picture frame shape has developed, and I am very happy that I decided on a rectangle on every wall, regardless of how far the wall is.
I think if I tried to disassemble these wider areas into smaller rectangles, it would have looked too busy. I strive for colorful, but calmly, not busy.
And of course it always has to go through this phase, in which it looks as if the form tone with chicken smallpox with all the nail holes filled with wood fillers.
Many people use boilers for the nail holes, and that’s a completely good option. It is also much faster and easier. The reason why I do wooden fillers instead is that I think the boiler shrinks a little when it dries and easily recognizable divots where every nail is located. I like that I have more control over wood fillers because I can build it up a little to take the shrinkage into account and then grind perfectly smoothly.
With this equipment I came across two problems. When I got the longest piece of crown shape for the foyer, I noticed that somehow a large part of it had been broken off. This had to have happened in the transport because I wouldn’t have missed it in the shop. It was about five or six inches long and about half a customs in the crown shape at its lowest point. I didn’t want to throw this piece away because Trim is not cheap and I couldn’t cut out this section because I would not have had enough crown shape to end the foyer. So I decided to go with it and find a way to repair it.
I could stand for not taking a photo of it before I tried to repair it, but you can see here that I started filling it with wooden fillers. It was a chaos.
The other problem I had was the chair rail on the right of the door into the walk -in wardrobe. Again I forgot to take a photo of the previous one, so I tried to determine what I worked with these scrap. The reason why it did not come together is that this door plug is obviously not square, so that my pieces, which were cut into the perfect 45-degree angle, were not hit. And this was bad, but I was still confident that I could somehow veil it. It looked something like that …
When I tried to repair the crown shape with wood filler, I thought: “I just wish I had something that was less wet and more formible.” And then I realized. I DO! I just made such a chandelier from a product! Air dry tone fit into the bill! I was not sure if it would work, but I decided to try it. I pushed it into the crack and then shaped it as far as possible with wet fingers, but I didn’t try to make it look perfect at this point because air dry clay silk shame is beautiful. So it looked when I let it dry overnight.
Here is another look. You can see that it is definitely not perfect. Just like with wood filler, I wanted to build it a little to enable shrinkage when drying.
And then this morning I sanded the dried tone from dried air. Just take a look at that!
You all !!! I can’t even believe how well it turned out !! Air dry tone is my new secret weapon for the almost perfect equipment. Oh, I wish I had taken a photo of it before I filled it out. You would be even more amazing. You only have to trust me if I say that the gap on the cladding was perhaps the farthest from the wall as big as 1/4 inch, but certainly not less than 3/16 inch.
So I dug up the wooden filler with which I tried to repair the crown strip, and I also replaced it with dry sound. This was much deeper than that on the chair rail. When I started grinding this morning, I realized that he was not yet completely dry. It will take another day before I can grind it perfectly so that it still looks a bit rough. But as soon as it is completely dry and smooth, you will never know that there was a large 5-inch 1/2-inch depth.
I wish I had discovered this before this year. I am not a finish carpenter, so my disguise is always imperfect and I always have to fill out cracks and joints with wooden fillers. But not more! My product of choice for this is air drying from now on. It takes a little longer to dry than wood fillers, but it is so much easier to shape, and it is also a bit easier to grind than wood filler. I am sure that I am used a lot more as soon as I start installing the cladding in the bedroom, so I will surely come in front of the pictures when I use them again.
